Thanks for confirming. > Should the shim-signed package have a dependency on a kernel that is new enough?
For better or worse, there is no straightforward way to express such a dependency. But also, the fundamental problem here is not that shim- signed has new requirements. The fundamental problem is that you and other users have been running a kernel that has had no security updates for over 2 years and didn't know it. While it was stated at the time that these kernels would have security support for a limited time and that users who had these kernels installed would not be automatically rolled forward to the next series (as this might introduce regressions in hardware support), evidently this information was not communicated in a way that made it clear to users that they were out of security support. I will look into what can be done to improve the communication to users in all the usual places that information about security updates are communicated, to let users know they are running unsupported kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1818134 Title: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Package not installed ubuntu14.04.5LTS kernel 3.13.0-165-generic Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in shim-signed package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: when installing bcmwl-kernel-source to build wl.ko package version: 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.2 Expected behavior: kernel module wl.ko loads.
